CVE-2026-64007 affects TCP timestamp adjustment in the Linux kernel's Netfilter SYNPROXY implementation. The IPv4 and IPv6 SYNPROXY hooks obtain a TCP header pointer before calling synproxy_tstamp_adjust(). That pointer can reference packet storage or a caller-local stack copy. Within synproxy_tstamp_adjust(), skb_ensure_writable() can reallocate cloned or non-linear packet storage and free the original buffer, invalidating the cached pointer. The subsequent inet_proto_csum_replace4() checksum update can therefore write into freed slab memory or update only the stack copy, leaving the transmitted packet's checksum inconsistent with its payload. The timestamp option itself is written through the current packet buffer and is unaffected by the stale pointer.
